Is CYBB p.Gly166= (c.498C>A) pathogenic?

CYBB p.Gly166= (c.498C>A) is classified Likely benign in CYBB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-01-18). Very rare (popmax 0.00178%, afr); Associated with granulomatous disease, chronic, X-linked.

What condition is associated with CYBB p.Gly166= (c.498C>A)?

CYBB p.Gly166= (c.498C>A) is associated with granulomatous disease, chronic, X-linked (ClinVar).

How common is CYBB p.Gly166= (c.498C>A) in the general population?

CYBB p.Gly166= (c.498C>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00178%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Chronic granulomatous disease inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive, X-linked recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
